An article on the addicted2success.com website offered three effective tips which you can use to promote creativity at your workplace and at the same time keep your colleagues enthused.

1. Look at things in a new way: no need to reinvent the wheel

Whatever you are doing, improve it. You don’t need to develop brand new ideas: to be successful, it is not necessary to do something previously unheard of. Of course, you cannot completely replicate something but you should not be afraid to develop further already existing ideas.

2. Don’t let a low budget make you feel helpless

Especially if you are not yet an established company, you may lack the budget to spend on whatever your business might need. Certain things can be afforded only after a sufficient amount of profit has been raised. So think about how to spend less, for example, on marketing, which is crucial during the initial stages of being in business. With high quality content, you can be successful on social media even if you invest relatively low sums of money. Many marketing activities initially began as very creative ideas.

3. A lively workplace is better than boredom

If you and your colleagues sit all day in a boring environment, it might prove difficult to be creative. To develop new perspectives and ideas, you need to be in a more stimulating environment. Invest in some appropriate pieces of art and maybe offer the possibility of listening to music. Work definitely cannot be fun all the time; however, sometimes you really do need to get your creative juices flowing. So keep this in mind when designing your working environment.
